Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #2
Picks Notes
#1 Ladneedsahandler Makes his first local start after showing speed in most of his races at mid-Atlantic tracks; can cruise to the lead from the rail and can play catch me if you can.
#3 Wicked Temptations Could be in an ideal position just off a rapid pace and he should be able to close some ground.
#2 Dimenna Likes the lead but has had it in longer races; will have to tune it up early to stay competitive.
Race Summary Ladneedsahandler comes out of good races and can be a strong factor in his first local start; could control it from the start.
Gulfstream Park - Race #6
Picks Notes
#3 Henry's World Extremely rapid and can be clear early on; had what it takes to stay against these rivals.
#4 Grainger County Has enough speed to be close and can make a serious move into contention here.
#2 Forest Survivor Was fourth when claimed by Orseno last out and gets Irad Ortiz Jr. for his first try for the new barn.
Race Summary Henry's World has the most speed and can be dangerous if he can kept that lead without full throttle; the one to catch.
Gulfstream Park - Race #7
Picks Notes
#5 Souper All Star Can get a good tracking position and can benefit from getting the best trip from off the pace.
#6 Lookinlikeaqueen Won at this level two races back and can finish with interest in this one.
#3 Nurse Judy Gets blinkers on and stretches out; gets good front-running rider in Saez.
Race Summary Souper All Star has a good chance to secure a perfect trip. Can dig in once she gets the lead in the stretch, and should have enough to hold off late threats.
